Lemongrass Mock Chicken

Based on a recipe from The Frugal Gourmet.

Ingredients:

• 1 bag Quorn meat free chicken pieces
• 4-5 squeezes Gourmet Garden lemongrass paste (or 4 stalks fresh lemongrass, cleaned, trimmed, and crushed)
• 1 bunch scallions
• 2 tsp. sugar
• 1/2 c. vegetable broth
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1 tsp. salt
• Red pepper flakes
• Oil
• 1/2 c. dry-roasted peanuts; chopped
• Cilantro
• Rice or spring roll wrappers and rice noodles

Microwave the chicken pieces until defrosted.
Finely slice the scallions. Mix the chicken with the salt, pepper, lemongrass paste and scallions and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Heat a wok and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken mixture and stir-fry for 3 minutes.
Add red pepper flakes and stir-fry on medium heat for 10 minutes or until heated through.
Season with sugar and pepper and add the vegetable broth. Stir for a few minutes, until vegetable broth evaporates.
Garnish with peanuts and cilantro. Serve with rice, or wrapped in spring roll wrappers with rice noodles.
